Part 28
The next morning, by the time Prachi got up she didn't find Milind besides her. She got up with a sore feeling as she had planned to kiss him on his cheek for what she thought was her last chance to do so. Milind had hardly slept through the night and was already in the shower by then.
"Get ready quickly. I will wait for you." said Milind coming out of the shower. Prachi had smiled and grabbed her clothes and locked herself in the bathroom. Quickly finishing her shower, she wore the clothes she had chosen last night. She straightened her hair, applied some make up and had looked her best.
"Baaba, the flight is at 11 pm. We will return from work at 6 and then we could leave to the airport at around 7- 7 30." Prachi had felt ached to hear Milind discussing her flight timings with his father. Prachi reminded herself of her determination to be brave and not feel weak. She had joined the two Mishra men for breakfast. They had eaten quickly since they had to leave as soon as possible.
Milind had waited opening the door of his passenger seat for Prachi as she walked towards the car. She had smiled at him and got a smile in return and she got into the car. The drive to work was silent except for Ayesha's phone call to Prachi, who had said she would visit her at work before she left for the US. Ayesha had gone to Neev's parents' place for the past few days and hadn't met Prachi after hearing about her decision to go to the US.
Ayesha had made an appearance at Milind's company at around 11 am. She had met with Prachi for a few minutes and left, with Prachi being extremely busy at work.
The day was very hectic for Milind too. There were several meetings. Projects were discussed, plans were made and money matters were sorted out. In the late afternoon, Mr. Kaushik had arrived and had a long meeting with Milind to finalize the matters. By the time it was nearly 5 pm, Milind and Kaushik had come out of their meeting room and announced officially, the merger of the two companies. Mr. Kaushik was going to have a bigger contribution in finances while Milind was going to head the creative division. Milind had also announced the salary hikes for his employees.
Milind had introduced all his employees to Mr. Kaushik and when he introduced Prachi to him, she had gotten nervous thinking if she needed to explain her aphonia act to him too, since she had met him in Pune before. Kaushik had rather asked Milind if she was his wife detailing that his friend Raj Patel had told him that his niece was not only married to Milind Mishra but also worked for him. Milind had confirmed his question in positive. Kaushik had told Prachi he remembered seeing her somewhere, may be with Raj. While Prachi wanted to explain to him that she had met him in Pune, there wasn't any time for it as Kaushik needed to leave right then.
After Mr. Kaushik and his managers left, Milind's employees too had left wishing Prachi a safe journey. "Congratulations, Milind" Prachi had said referring to the successful merger. "Thanks, and thanks a ton for all your support. Can you come to my cabin?" Milind had said replying to her. Prachi had followed him to his cabin, shutting the door behind her.
"I thought I should give you the termination letter" said Milind seating on his chair, acting as if he was trying to find the letter amidst of his files. Prachi's face had turned pale thinking if he really needed to make it a point to say it, to hurt her even more.
"I can't find the letter. I had typed it specially during the lunch break" Milind had said still searching through his file.
"Does it matter? Anyways, you do know my US address. You could perhaps send it there if you don't find it now" said Prachi who had stood near his desk, by him.
"Oh yes, you are right" said Milind turning his huge rotating chair left and right and stretching himself on it.
"Can we go home, now?"
"Yes, but I have a thing to clear"
"What is it?"
"You lied to me, again, huh!"
"Lie?"
"Yes, lied!"
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Why beating around the bush? Let me say it straight. I heard someone is so anti-US that she never traveled to the States in spite of her uncle having his home in California"
"Milind.." Prachi was shocked to hear how he came to know about her strong opinions against the United States of A.
"I also heard someone had got admissions into LA film school, just to prove it to some Mr. PROteek that she also can get admissions abroad, but never joined it, though she had got scholarships last year itself."
Prachi was shocked further that Milind had come to know about these matters she would never have told him. Seeing her sweat on her forehead, Milind had continued to say, "I am sure you can guess how I know all this. Ayesha, yes Ayesha. She had forgotten to give you the gift she had brought for you this morning. She had come back to the office and bumped into me. You were busy in a meeting. She asked me to pass on the gift to you and also told me that I have this great influence on you to have changed you from anti-US to pro-US party. Looks like you have given Ayesha a long lecture on how you have fallen in love with the United States now"
"But, Milind, I am sorry for lying about.... I never meant to... I just wanted a reason to.." Prachi's eyes had filled with tears.
Milind had left out a huge breath out of his mouth and raised his eye brows.
"I am sorry to have lied to you. But this was the only way I could think of, to leave you, your house, without hurting Baaba. Now that you know it, please don't tell this to Baaba. Milind, I don't know why I get everything wrong when it comes to my relationship with you." Prachi had broken down. Milind was tempted to console her, but hadn't done so.
"You don't have to go to LA, if you so don't like America."
"It's not a big deal, Milind. It's just a matter of making myself see the good side of the country. Now that Bush is replaced by Obama, I will learn to love it to live there"
"Can you also tell me, how do I make myself learn to hate you, Prachi?"
"Milind??"
"Do you not hate me, already?"
"I wish, I could. Unfortunately, I could never hate you, in spite of all your lies, your dramas and the stories you cooked"
"Milind, do you mean..."
"Yes, I mean what you are thinking"
"You mean, what?"
"Don't you get it?"
"Milind?" Prachi had looked at Milind with her heartbeat losing its rhythm.
"Enough! Come here" Milind had pulled Prachi onto his lap, catching her hand. With his hands wrapping around her back, he had hugged her to his body, tightly.
"I want you, Prachi. Life won't be life without you. I need you in my life."
"Milind" Prachi had too had hugged him tightly with her arms around his neck. They had stayed like that for ages as their bodies and souls were yearning to do so for ages.
"I love you Milind. I don't want to go anywhere. I want to be with you forever" said Prachi crying like a baby.
"You are not going anywhere, dear. I will not let you go" said Milind, pressing her to himself further.
Prachi had taken her face back to face Milind. "Does this mean you have forgiven me for my lies, Milind?" she had asked innocently.
"I have come to understand that you lied in love, for love and in the fear of losing love. Now too you were lying for love. There is nothing to forgive in love. Everything is fair in love and war. And I too love you and I need you badly." Milind had said looking into Prachi's eyes and kissed her forehead. Prachi had further weeped in elation.
"It kills me to see you cry. I have been feeling so low makig you cry and not wiping your tears all these days. Please don't cry" Milind had kissed Prachi's eyes to dry her tears away. He went on to kiss her on both of her cheeks and smiled at her, for which she had reciprocated with a smile too. Watching her lips that had widened, Milind had slowly touched them with his lips. Prachi had shuddered with the sensation his act had generated in her and the very next moment, he had bit her lips before dwelling in deeper into her mouth. Prachi couldn't give herself any choice other than to drown herself in his kiss. They had broken away for air after a long time, but Milind had nibbled her ear and went down to her neck, moving along her collar bone. Prachi's fingers got lost in his curly locks as she lifted her head allowing him further access.
Passion had burnt Milind and Prachi, making their breathing erratic. Milind's hand moved up inside her top and Prachi had caught hold of his hand as a tiny awareness passed her brain that they were in the office. She had then met with his eyes, which spoke of love, passion and desperation in the need of her making her lose all the awareness of the surroundings. She had pressed her lips against his initiating another deep kiss that further raised the temperatures.
Milind had got up carrying Prachi as she was, on his lap. Prachi had locked her legs around his hips and hugged him tighter. Milind carried her to the small couch he had in his cabin to lay her on it. As she shyly closed her eyes with colour filling her cheeks, he had moved his hand up her legs, the legs he was ever so fond of, kissing them along that made her squirm. He had undone one button of his shirt but then went on to take her top off, making her suddenly feel shy, exposed, as she covered herself with her hands. The very sight of her that way had him lose all his senses as he caught her lips again, pulling her out of all her inhibitions. They weren't conscious of their bodies or the surroundings anymore with passion ruling them, driving them to the height of it where their bodies united in every sense, enchanting their souls that were one long before.
"I love you, Prachi" Milind had whispered against her lips in the highest moment of his passion.
"I love you too, Milind" Prachi had said as she raised her body breathing hard. Milind had opened his eyes to see his wife's face in gratification, the very same face he had seen on their wedding night. It had brought a smile on his face. "I love you, my sweetie" he had bit her lips, sucking the wetness, having her gasp in sweet pain. She too had opened her eyes to see him smiling naughtily at her, she had smiled back and they had laughed as he buried his face by her neck calming his breathing. Right then they had heard a knock at the door.
"Looks like I am not blessed to relax after this" Milind had winked at Prachi as he got up to find his clothes. Prachi too had grabbed her clothes, wearing them as soon as she could. It was Ali and Neelam knocking. They had been out of station for a week and when Ali had called Milind's home, Baaba had informed him that Prachi was leaving for the States that night. Sensing some trouble in Milind and Prachi's relationship, Ali and Neelam had wanted to meet them and talk to them before Prachi left for the airport and had ended up reaching Milind's office. Ali had called Milind and Prachi's numbers a couple of times, but that had gone unnoticed with Milind and Prachi lost in their love and the mobiles being in silent mode.
As Milind opened the door after a couple of minutes, Ali had asked hurriedly "Why is Prachi going to the US? What's the matter?". At the same time, Prachi had looked at Neelam and hugged her, smiling coyly. "Who said Prachi is going to the US? She is actually going to Khandala, with me, for a honeymoon that was long due" said Milind bluntly. Neelam had noticed a fresh hickey on Prachi's neck, very similar to the one she had seen before in the same place. Getting a fair understanding of the situation, Neelam had held her confused husband's hand to whisper in his ears "Darling, it's not what we were thinking. I think we should leave from here and before that we also should congratulate these guys. Looks like all is well now".
"Yes, all is well" said Milind and received a hug from his best friend. "Let's go" said Neelam dragging Prachi with her who was all red on her face. Milind had locked his office and walked out with Ali. They had got into their cars to leave for home.
"Milind, what do I tell Baaba about dropping my plan to go to Los Angeles?" asked Prachi as she sat in the car. "I am sure you can come up with an excuse" Milind had said putting his seat belt on. "May be I could tell him that I will do the course in correspondence. Actually there is an option to do so. But another lie? Oh God, I hope this is the last" said Prachi playing with her fingers. "That's your headache. All I want is you to be with me, till eternity" said Milind taking her hand in his and kissing it before he started the car.
The End.😊😛😃
The next morning, by the time Prachi got up she didn't find Milind besides her. She got up with a sore feeling as she had planned to kiss him on his cheek for what she thought was her last chance to do so. Milind had hardly slept through the night and was already in the shower by then.
